In Northern Ireland, Diamonds are one of the most precious gifts that can be given. But how can you be sure that the diamond you are buying is the best that you can get for your money. There are lots of different factors which will make your decision.

1/ Budget – Find a jeweller who offers a wide range of diamonds to chose from. Work out how much you can afford and push them to show you the best quality diamond for that price.

2/ Shape – the shape of a diamond is different from the cut. The cut is a technical term which refers to the diamond’s proportions, symmetry and polish. A good jeweller will help you with the cut of your diamond, but you get to pick the shape which you prefer.

This diagram from wikipedia.org shows a collection of shapes which you can pick from.

We love the unusual pear cut.

3/ Purpose. You should consider what how your diamond is going to be worn. We love the unusual pear cut but if this were to be chosen for an engagement ring you may need to consider a specially made wedding band which will complement the awkward shape. Diamond can be set into rings, bracelets, and necklaces.

Diamonds are a great investment and are loved worldwide. The allure of a diamond comes from the clarity and sparkle. Working with a reputable Jeweller will help you to pick the best diamond for your money.

Mothering Sunday – Ballymena

Put some time into planning breakfast in bed! A cup of tea and some burt toast won’t cut it on Mother’s Day so plan ahead and get out to the shop on Saturday to pick up special breakfast favourites – croissants, pancakes, pain au chocolat. Pick out some special jam and take a look at the speciality tea aisle.

Pick the perfect gift. Jewellery is an excellent choice because it is meaningful, beautiful and should be well received. Look at what jewellery your mum wears daily and try to get her something which would either match or replace something that she already loves. A ring, necklace, bracelet or pair of earrings are all great gifts which normally come ready packaged in a giftbox. These pieces from Thomas Sabo are available from Robert Adair Jewellers in Ballymena.

Jewellery for Mothers Day

mcc —  February 26, 2015

Mothers Day is nearly here and we at Jewellery Latest think that Jewellery is one of the best presents to give to your mum. Jewellery is an excellent gift to give and here are some reasons why from Jewellery Latest.

1/ Jewellery is an investment and will be treasured forever. Even if your mother doesn’t wear lots of jewellery on a day to day basis she will always cherish something which was handpicked and given as a gift.

2/ It can be meaningful. There are lots of ways to show that you have put extra thought into buying jewellery. For example you could look up her birthstone and pick a ring or necklace.

3/ Jewellery is appropriate for any age. Pick a classic diamond pendant or a plain band with a coloured precious stone and your mother can wear it forever.  A pair of earrings is another great idea and something that can really add the finishing touch to any outfit

It is hard to go wrong with something sparkly and shiny on Mothers Day. If you are in the Ballymena area consider calling in with Robert Adair Jewellers on Mill Street in Ballymena to pick out your perfect Mothers Day gift.  Remember At Robert Adair’s a full same day engraving service is available, so why not make your gift more personal with FREE engraving.

At Jewellery Latest we know that lots of excited boyfriends are starting to plan the perfect proposal! Do the job right with a dazzling engagement ring.

Picking the right engagement ring can be a minefield. If your girlfriend has clear ideas about what she likes and you have discussed marriage seriously then take a trip to a jewellers and ask her what type of ring she likes the best.

  • Take note of whether she prefers gold or silver.
  • Does she like clusters of diamonds, or one simple stone.
  • Would she prefer a precious stone rather than a diamond – for example her birthstone.
  • Modern or classic design.

Try to remember what she like the best and then don’t be scared to head into the jeweller for a look by yourself. The staff are there to help you navigate all the different rings and if you have some ideas it will make the progress go smoothly.

Try to smuggle in one of her own rings which will help you to work out what would be the best fit. Or try one of her ring on (secretly) and note which of your finger fits best. Then the jeweller can measure your finger and guess her ring size. Don’t forget that the ring can be resized afterwards to get the fit perfect.

Remember to hang on to the receipt just incase she has her heart set on something else so that you can change it over but we are pretty sure that these tips will help you to get your proposal right first time.

Jewellery Latest know that Valentines Day is a very important date on a jewellers calendar. In 2013 consumers in America spent over $4 Billion on jewellery for a Valentines day gift for their loved one and we guess that this year will be no exception.

Diamonds, gold and silver are the perfect present for a lady on Valentines Day but what about your man? Jewellers have great ranges designed for men which would be the perfect unexpected gift for your husband or boyfriend this year.

Consider getting your man a ring. Avoid anything that looks too like a wedding band and opt for something modern and durable like Titanium. Titanium rings are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, hypo allergenic and really strong. Perfect for any man who works with his hands or loves the outdoors.

If he wouldn’t wear a ring then look out for a gorgeous watch. Men’s watches come in all forms from classic with leather straps, to sports watches. We suggest you go for something classic from a brand like Tissot, which he can wear every day or keep for a special occasion.

Or for the man who has everything consider searching out something a little more unique. A Rolex watch would be the ultimate gift but at a very high price. Did you know that many jewellers offer pre-owned Rolex watches which are sold with the box and certification at a more reasonable price? A Pre-owned Rolex is defiantly worth looking into for you loved one. We at Jewellery Latest are sure that it beats the usual aftershave and sock combination this Valentines Day.
